In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

Chapter 117 I'm also afraid of death

Sun Wukong, disguised as a little demon, entered the deep, dark Lion Camel Cave, which was filled with a demonic aura.

As soon as he entered, he quickly scanned his surroundings, and in an instant, his gaze locked onto the three demons sitting upright on the high platform in front of him.

The demon sitting in the very center was burly and robust, with a ferocious and terrifying face. His large, bell-like eyes gleamed with a fierce light, and he gripped a huge, gleaming cleaver tightly in his hand.

Without a doubt, this demon must be the leader of these three great demons—the Azure Lion Demon King!

Then look at the demon sitting to the left of the Green Lion Demon King; he is also imposing and awe-inspiring.

This demon wields a long spear and is an elephant with white fur and yellow tusks; without a doubt, he is the White Elephant Demon King.

Finally, shift your gaze to the right of the Blue Lion Demon King, where another imposing demon is seated.

He had a golden-winged kun-like head, and his eyes were like the bright stars in the night sky, or like a nimble leopard in the jungle, radiating brilliance.

Such unique physical features could only belong to the Great Roc Demon King.

Upon seeing Sun Wukong, the Green Lion asked, "Little Drill Wind, did you manage to find out any news about Tang Sanzang and his disciples while you were patrolling the mountain?"

Sun Wukong replied, "Your Majesty, the Tang Monk and his disciples are hiding in the Southern Ridge."

Seeing the little demon's calm and composed gaze, Dapeng narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes sharp as he stared intently at Sun Wukong.

Upon hearing this, the Green Lion burst into loud laughter: "Hahaha... That Tang Sanzang has actually walked right into our trap!"

"Second brother, third brother, should we go and capture Tang Sanzang immediately?"

The white elephant reminded him, "Brother, don't forget that Tang Sanzang also has the all-powerful Sun Wukong by his side."

The Green Lion frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "What should we do? Perhaps we should lure Sun Wukong away first, and then..."

Suddenly, Dapeng pointed at Xiaozuanfeng and shouted to the other little monsters in the cave, "Quickly capture him! He is Sun Wukong!"

Everyone was startled.

White Elephant asked doubtfully, "Third Brother, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

Green Lion chimed in, "That's right, he's Little Drill Wind. He reports to me three times a day, so I recognize him."

Dapeng firmly declared, "No! He is Sun Wukong!"

After saying this, he immediately pounced on Sun Wukong and launched an attack, leaving the others dumbfounded.

Seeing that Sun Wukong could fight the Roc for several rounds, everyone was convinced that what the Roc said was true, and that the little demon was indeed Sun Wukong in disguise.

The Green Lion cried out anxiously, "Third Brother! Quickly use your Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle to take him inside!"

Upon hearing this, Dapeng quickly dodged Sun Wukong's attack and retreated back to the high platform.

Sun Wukong caught a glimpse of the bottle and couldn't help but chuckle.

"I never expected you would prepare such a huge chamber pot for your grandfather!"

Despite having heard Little Drill Wind mention the bottle's power, Sun Wukong didn't take it seriously.

Dapeng sneered, "Once you're inside, you'll see how powerful it is!"

Sun Wukong thought he could handle the situation with ease, but he was careless in the end. The Yin-Yang Bottle was like a demon, emitting a powerful suction force that instantly swallowed him up.

Once inside the bottle, as soon as Sun Wukong spoke, countless flames would surge forth like a tidal wave, fire dragons, fire snakes, fire horses... tightly surrounding him, rendering him completely immobile.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, he remembered the three life-saving hairs that Guanyin Bodhisattva had given him.

Not knowing if the hair would actually work, Sun Wukong, with a "nothing to lose" mentality, transformed the hair into a diamond drill and began drilling into the bottom of the bottle.

Surprisingly, the diamond drill actually made a hole in the bottom of the bottle, and he took the opportunity to transform into a fly and escape.

Upon emerging, he saw the three demon kings drinking and celebrating their victory. He then reverted to his true form and launched into a tirade of sarcastic remarks at the three demons.

"Monster! Your broken bottle is as flimsy as paper; it can't hold a person at all, and it'll leak if you use it as a chamber pot!"

Having said that, he didn't give the three demons a chance to respond and turned and flew away like a gust of wind.

Dapeng examined the bottle and found a large hole at the bottom. He was furious: "That wretched stable boy! He actually broke my precious bottle!"

Green Lion frowned and said worriedly, "Third Brother, Sun Wukong is incredibly powerful. Maybe we shouldn't eat Tang Sanzang."

Even this magical weapon was useless against Sun Wukong, and he had already begun to consider retreating.

Dapeng, however, was displeased and retorted, "Brother, Tang Sanzang is so close, how can we give up so easily!"

White Elephant chimed in, "Third Brother's words make sense. Eldest Brother, let's think of another way."

Seeing the two men's determination to have Tang Sanzang, the Green Lion had no choice but to nod in agreement.

……

Sun Wukong returned to the camp and, upon seeing the letter left by Chen Yi, immediately set off in the direction Chen Yi and the others had gone, without saying a word.

Chen Yi and his two companions were resting in the woods when they saw Sun Wukong return, and they were all delighted.

Chen Yi exclaimed excitedly, "Great Sage, you're finally back! We were so worried about you!"

Sha Wujing anxiously asked, "Senior Brother, are you alright?"

Sun Wukong replied, "I'm fine, I'm perfectly alright."

Pigsy complained, "Brother, why did you go and alert the monster? If the monster targets us, you'll be putting Master in danger."

Sun Wukong said in a serious voice, "Even if I didn't alert them, the little monk was still being watched."

Sha Wujing immediately asked anxiously, "What should we do?"

Sun Wukong said frankly, "Naturally, we will subdue them in one fell swoop."

"So for the little monk's safety, I need the help of my two junior brothers. Let's go together and take down those three demons of Lion Camel Ridge!"

Once those three demons were eliminated, the remaining lesser demons scattered like headless flies. When he stepped forward to make an example of them, they would naturally scatter like birds and beasts.

Upon hearing this, Pigsy jumped up as if he had been electrocuted and hurriedly shouted, "I'm not going! Let Sandy go with you!"

Sun Wukong frowned, his face full of suspicion, and asked, "Fatty Pig, why are you so afraid of Lion Camel Ridge?"

Pigsy thumped his chest loudly and replied confidently, "Because I, Old Pig, cherish my life as much as gold!"

Chen Yi: ...You're right! I'm also afraid of death!

Faced with this reason given by Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong was speechless.

Sha Wujing stepped forward and said loudly, "Eldest Brother, I am willing to go with you!"

Sun Wukong: "Fatty Pig! You're better off not going, but remember to protect the little monk. If he suffers even the slightest harm, I..."

Pigsy quickly interrupted him, solemnly promising, "I know! I know! I will protect Master. You should go now!"

There are so many monsters in Lion Camel Ridge, I wonder if my senior brother will be able to come back this time.

If the eldest brother perishes with that monster and cannot return, then he will take his master back to Gao Village and take care of him in his old age.

Chen Yi: ...Listen to me, thank you!
